Innovative Concrete Products, Inc. (ICP) patterns and manufactures lightweight Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement(GFRC) cladding. ICP’s system, sold under the name of “Permaclad,” can be used on all building types including concrete, steel and wood framed construction. Permaclad is produced in a variety of shapes and sizes including block, brick, stone and stucco for residential, commercial and industrial applications.

ICP provides a full range of products and accessories to our customers including sills and integral corners for all patterns and sizes of cladding. Permaclad is the perfect substitute for many commonly used masonry and stone veneer systems.

ICP can provide custom colors and patterns for any project including new construction, historical renovations, interior design and other applications. Simply, if it can be patterned, we can reproduce any architectural element, detail or veneer using Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete.

Permaclad products are environmentally sound and energy efficient. The GFRC ingredients used in our system have 30% less carbon emissions per cubic yard than standard concrete. ICP cladding systems weigh approximately seven pounds per square foot for our standard split face block pattern. Permaclad weighs approximately 80% less than standard concrete, masonry and stone in traditional thicknesses. Costs of shipping and installation for the Permaclad system are significantly less than similar applications.
